Проститутки Москвы: мифы, риски и правила личной безопасности
Prostitution is an administrative offense in Russia, but organizing or involving others is a criminal act. While clients don't face federal penalties for buying services, they risk legal trouble, violence, STIs/HIV, extortion, data breaches, and scams. Safety involves verifying locations and individuals, controlling routes, setting boundaries, using protection, and having a backup plan. Many myths exist regarding safety in the escort business, but facts are more stringent. Clients can be checked during police raids, and digital risks are high. Rules for safety involve checking backgrounds, meeting in public, informing someone of your plans, setting clear conditions, and using protection. Digital hygiene includes disabling auto-saving media, using separate accounts, and clearing metadata. If you suspect coercion or trafficking, document details and contact authorities and NGOs. Prioritize health with regular STI/HIV testing and PrEP/PEP, and be aware of potential scams. Clear consent, confidentiality, and respect are vital, as is knowing what to do if things go wrong, including seeking help from the authorities or medical personnel.
